Will my 17 year old be charged as an adult for a DUI and what can she expect at sentencing?

My 17 (DOB 2/10/96) was arrested on 1/17/14 for a DUI. Her Blood Alcohol content was .15. In addition, she was speeding (posted speed 50, her speed 109). She is lucky they stopped her or she and her underage passenger would be killed. They also found a small amount of weed in her car. The sheet that they gave her was speed over 100mph, possession of marijuana, and failure to yield. In addition, there are the DUI charges 23152a/23152b. Her court date is 4/1/14 and she will be 18 at the court date. She has a clean record and has been in no trouble up until now. Will they provide her with a public defender? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
